For this week‘s episode, I took time out of a recent jaunt to Houston to talk about traditions, trips and making an effort.

My guests, Eric Hawthorn, and Michael Freeman unpack their own holiday traditions from both Europe and here in the US. Recounting previous experiences and discussing the hardship of navigating distances that can exist between family and friends during this time of the year.

They also talk about the importance of making the effort to bridge those gaps and be present to keep relationships and memories going strong.

This week we welcome Yolanda Reshemah, creator of The Places We Call Home and Starting Over in the USA. Yolanda’s journey has taken her from her birthplace of St. Vincent and the Grenadines to England, France and now all the way to the West Coast of America.

We’ll dig into her experiences of connection, belonging, and what she has discovered since creating and hosting her own podcast, including the surprising hurdles many people face when moving to the USA
